Multi-part housing seal, method for the automated application of a multi-part housing seal, and housing comprising a multi-part housing seal

A multipartite housing seal for sealing off a housing interior from a housing exterior, the multipartite housing seal comprising:

• a first elastic adhesive strip and a second elastic adhesive strip, the first and second adhesive strips being arranged between a first housing element and a second housing element,
• wherein:
• the first elastic adhesive strip comprises a first end portion having a first front side and a first edge face, and a second end portion having a second front side and a second edge face, and is arranged between the first housing element and the second housing element such that:
• the first front side and the second front side are arranged opposite one another and separated from one another by an application gap;
• the first and second edge faces lie substantially in a plane;
• and
• the first elastic adhesive strip has an arrangement in a plane located between the first housing element and the second housing element, the arrangement of the first adhesive strip comprises a closed annular configuration with the exception of the application gap;
• and
• the closed annular configuration comprises a profile or a contour of the first elastic adhesive strip formed by the arrangement of the first elastic adhesive strip;
• and
• the second elastic adhesive strip is arranged between the first housing element and the second housing element such that:
• a first edge face of the second elastic adhesive strip is in contact with the first edge face of the first elastic adhesive strip and forms a first sealing gap;
• a second edge face of the second elastic adhesive strip is in contact with the second edge face of the first elastic adhesive strip and forms a second sealing gap;
• and
• a third edge face of the second elastic adhesive strip conceals the application gap, and
• further wherein, when the first housing element and the second housing element are pressed against one another with a force F, the first elastic adhesive strip and the second elastic adhesive strip are compressed and expand in the direction of the edge faces, such that:
• the first edge face of the second elastic adhesive strip and the first edge face of the first elastic adhesive strip are pressed against one another and seal off the first sealing gap and the second edge face of the second elastic adhesive strip and the second edge face of the first elastic adhesive strip are pressed against one another and seal off the second sealing gap for preventing fluid communication between the housing interior and the housing exterior.
